I have had a very good experience here at the VA. Dr. Appts are on time (not like the private sector that run hours behind). They remind me of my appts many times so I don t forget. The people I meet walking in are always helpful. I ve never had to wait really for anything . Sure the faculty is old but the people make the experience
I want to take a moment to extend a heartfelt and well-deserved shoutout to Ms. Robinson of the VA Pain Management clinic. She exceeded my expectations in the most meaningful way when I least expected it.On September 23rd around 4:30pm, I was at home when I noticed several missed calls from an unfamiliar number. Like most people these days, I waited for a voicemail before deciding whether to return the call. Ms. Robinson eventually sent me a text explaining who she was and asked that I return her call at my earliest convenience. It turned out that she was trying to reach me in efforts to discuss her concerns about my mom s overall well-being during a visit to Pain Management.For context, my mom has been dealing with sciatica, shoulder, and knee pain and host of other issues as far back as I can remember. While addressing these physical issues, Ms. Robinson noticed other concerning signs, beyond outside of her specialty, but ones she felt strongly needed attention. This was particularly touching for me because I ve been aware of these signs myself and have often encouraged my mom to see a specialist to address her wellness and limited mobility...but she s been resistant.What followed was an hour-long conversation between me and Ms. Robinson in which she developed a care plan with me to help get my mom back on track.As a Veteran and Physician Assistant, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges Veterans encounter within the VA system, including extended wait times and, in some instances, less-than-ideal care, which can unfortunately overshadow the commendable work of many dedicated professionals. However, this experience also highlighted that the VA is comprised of individuals who pay attention to detail, and Ms. Robinson exemplifies the exceptional dedication of those who go above and beyond their roles to advocate for their patients with compassion and professionalism.I sincerely hope the VA will encourage more clinicians to emulate this proactive approach throughout the system. Ms. Robinson, thank you for your care, diligence, and compassion.
